Boaters in the Heartland and elsewhere have discovered a way to slip off those beloved old deck shoes and commune with kindred spirits, in a world they had thought was peopled by precious few lovers of our inland waterways.

District Eight members can do it with HeartLand Boating magazine. Since our launch in 1989, each successive issue has gained greater acceptance. We cover the lakes and rivers, and landlocked waterways of the Heartland, including the Mississippi, Ohio, Illinois, Cumberland, and Tennessee rivers, Tenn-Tom and GIWW. Our advertising is focused on all those things you need for boating, plus some you just dream about.

HeartLand Boating means feature articles about boaters like you, their experiences and knowledge. It is written for boaters by boaters. It means news, opinions, humor, helpful hints about freshwater inland boating, and much more.

District Eight members, put yourself in touch with the world of boating on the inland waterways. There's more out there than you ever imagined!
